Phys.org / The little red galaxies that may be sending us neutrinos
Peering far into the distant, high-redshift universe, the James Webb telescope has discovered an abundance of small red galaxies known as the Little Red Dots. From their observations, astronomers believe that at least some ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed battery electrolyte could let devices store power in almost any shape
Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have developed a way to 3D-print an essential battery component in nearly any shape. Their innovation could free engineers from the constraints of standard rechargeable battery ...
Medical Xpress / Emerging mRNA vaccine strategies target cancer and pathogenic viruses in potent new ways
The technology that gave the world mRNA COVID vaccines is being tested in a variety of new ways, and emerging research reveals that a crucial T-cell population can be reprogrammed in animal models by reimagining the science ...
Phys.org / Rice grown on the moon? Air-to-fertilizer technology helps rice grow in lunar soil simulant
Securing sustainable food supplies is a key challenge for long-term human exploration and potential habitation of the moon. The moon's soil contains no organic material, and essential plant nitrogen sources like ammonia and ...
Phys.org / A severe El Niño could threaten something essential to half of humanity—rice
Forecasters expect the El Niño now underway in the tropical Pacific to strengthen into a strong or very strong climate driver later this year.
Medical Xpress / Cryo-EM helps identify the mechanisms of dental plaque formation
Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, caused by the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). In Japan alone, approximately 80% of adults 30 and older are affected or considered ...
Medical Xpress / Routine eye exams reveal stage 2 hypertension in half of diabetes patients
Diabetes opens people to other noncommunicable diseases like obesity, retinopathy and cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and hypertension. A recent study by researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine ...
Phys.org / Human activity has not always harmed biodiversity—quite the opposite
For millennia, farming in Switzerland did not reduce plant diversity but helped increase it, University of Basel researchers have shown in a detailed reconstruction covering the past 7,000 years. Only recent decades paint ...
Tech Xplore / Drone-mounted camera can detect plastic landmines without an internet connection
Today's antipersonnel land mines are small and often have plastic casings that standard metal detectors cannot register. Geophysical techniques such as ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry and electromagnetic induction ...
Phys.org / New findings on how malaria parasites invade human cells yield proof of concept for new antimalarial drug
For nearly half a century, scientists have known that malaria parasites force their way into human red blood cells through a ring-shaped structure called the moving junction. What no one could work out was what it actually ...
Phys.org / Giant exoplanet may hold a magnetic grip on its host star
Within their planetary systems, stars are continuously shaping their orbiting planets through gravity, radiation and magnetic forces. So far, this relationship has appeared to be a one-way street.
Phys.org / Arabian Sea sediments reveal summer and winter monsoons shifted differently after last ice age
High-resolution sediment analyses from the Arabian Sea reveal, for the first time, that summer and winter monsoons respond differently to global climate change. The study enhances understanding of past precipitation patterns ...
